Commentaries The Annunciation and Mary's Fiat, 'Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.' (Luke 1,26-38) Mary is pictured in Luke 1,26-38 as someone who hears, reflects on, questions, and once clarified, gives consent to the Word of God; as someone who accepts in faith God’s Word or God’s plan of salvation and is ready to cooperate with it.
